Project Grant 2445981
- The National Science Foundation awarded Columbia University a three-year, $701,821 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing. The research team, led by a female faculty member and including two early-career researchers, will analyze observations and climate models to better understand how this key component of the climate system responds to anthropogenic forcing....
- This $372,515 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to document variations in the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The principal investigators at Columbia University will analyze geochemical data from deep-sea sediment cores to determine the timing and patterns of subsurface warming in the Western Pacific Warm Pool relative to surface...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $267,901 will fund research into the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support a collaborative research effort examining how the temperature, currents, and thermal structure of the upper tropical...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000 to fund research to understand the differences between observed and simulated patterns of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) warming. The 2-year project, beginning January 1, 2024, involves comparisons between climate models and a simplified Zebiak-Cane atmosphere-ocean model to identify the physical mechanisms causing the contrasting SST trend patterns. The research has implications...
- This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,227,787 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin to reconstruct changes in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and tropical Pacific decadal variability over time periods such as the last glacial period and deglaciation. The project will utilize fossil corals and speleothems from locations in the South Pacific to generate paleoclimate records, which will be compared to climate model simulations to...
- This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $718,487 supports research into the drivers of regional climate change patterns and their implications. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2027. The principal investigator and collaborators from multiple international institutions will use a suite of climate model experiments to further understanding of the physical mechanisms influencing sea surface temperature warming patterns in key...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $306,943 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The grant will support a collaborative research project to conduct a global census of submesoscale energetics using in-situ drifter observations and a high-resolution ocean model. Specifically, Columbia...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $687,689 to fund research investigating the dynamics of temperature patterns in the Pacific Ocean across different timescales. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of key aspects of Pacific Ocean dynamics, with the goal of reconciling discrepancies between climate model simulations and observations related to trends in the tropical Pacific and associated regional climate change. The lead investigator, an early career researcher, will integrate observational analyses, theoretical demonstrations, and model experiments to explain the meridional differences in thermocline depth and mixed layer temperature patterns between interannual El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Variability, as well as the patterns associated with long-term climate change. This research is essential for improving climate models and providing more reliable predictions and projections of regional climate change and global warming. The project will be conducted by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, a prestigious private research university with extensive capabilities in various scientific domains.
